![]() If your app (like Google Contacts) or device (like an Android smartphone) can export existing contacts to vCard format, Thunderbird can effortlessly import them. It’s also compatible with vCard specs, the industry standard for saving contacts. The redesigned Address Book delivers a clean visual presentation and several new information fields to help you better understand who you’re communicating with. One of Thunderbird 102’s headlining features is the new Address Book, which represents the first of many steps towards a new, modernized direction for Thunderbird’s UX/UI. New Contact layout in Thunderbird 102 Basic contact view in dark/light modes (Shown here on Linux) ![]() That’s why Thunderbird 102 gives you one of the best tools to better track and interact with all the important people in your life. You don’t communicate with contacts, you communicate with people. NEW ADDRESS BOOK: YOUR CONTACTS GET A SERIOUS UPGRADE IN THUNDERBIRD 102 Let’s talk about some of the best new features in Thunderbird 102. ![]() (Using Thunderbird 91 and don’t need an immediate upgrade? Your client should automatically update within the next few weeks as we gradually roll it out.) Just sell or give your laptop to charity if it’s ancient and you want something to run the latest and greatest, no need for delusions.Thunderbird 102 is available to download right now for our global community of 20M+ Linux, macOS, and Windows users. Hypothetically, even with mentioned upgrades, you’d again be using hardware to run an OS that it was not designed for, you are pretty much asking for a bad experience. Or if money is tight, a far better investment would just be to save for a more modern computer, so your advice is still not helpful. Group 1 will ignore what you say, and group 2 might not even be smart enough to know how to do the hardware upgrades necessary to have a normal experience in W10. People still using older OS are probably in one of two camps:Ģ) not tech savvy, or don’t have money/time The fact of the matter is it’s not really accurate to say “if your PC ran Win7/8.1, it will run Win 10”, because bundled into that statement are a bunch of caveats, such as upgrading a hdd to an ssd, and maybe adding more/doubling the RAM. Hell, saying that 4 GB of ram is good for Windows 10 is also a little out of touch with reality. Running windows 10 on a mechanical hdd is a terrible experience, whereas it’s possible and quite OK on an older OS such as 7. The topic of SSD is also not trivial, and better serves to undermine your earlier point. ![]() If you mean reinstalling the OS you have from scratch, I agree that speeds things up in general. That’s like saying “I can lift 50 Kg, it will be even easier to lift 75 Kg”. If something (hardware, such a laptop of desktop) is from the era of Win7-8, it will not run Win 10 “better”, sorry but that is just not logically possible. This should give most users ample time to move on to a new operating system on the same device or another device. Windows 7 and 8 users, and macOS 10.14 and earlier users, may continue using Thunderbird until late 2024. Thunderbird 116, which is available as a Beta currently, won't install on these systems anymore. Users on these systems can't install newer versions of Thunderbird anymore, however. The email client will then receive regular updates throughout 2023 and most of 2024 on the older systems. Thunderbird users on these operating systems will receive the update to Thunderbird 115 eventually, just like users on newer systems. The email client will be supported until late 2024, just like Mozilla Firefox 115 ESR. Thunderbird 115 supports the operating systems. Microsoft did not change the system requirements between the older versions of Windows and Windows 10. Most Windows 7 and 8.1 devices can be upgraded to Windows 10, a version of Windows that is supported until October 2025. ![]() Similarly, Apple does not support the older macOS versions anymore. These operating systems are no longer supported by Microsoft. Microsoft ended support for Windows 7 and 8.1 in January 2023. It furthermore is also the last version compatible with Apple's macOS 10.12, 10.13 and 10.14 systems. Thunderbird 115 will be the last version that is compatible with Microsoft's Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 operating systems. Support for older versions of Windows and macOS Some users noted that some of their extensions stopped working in the new Thunderbird and there are issues to be sorted out first. The new release is not yet available via the built-in updating functionality of the email client, and it may take a while before the upgrade is enabled. ![]()
